Becoming a Great Missionary: A training manual for missionaries, members, and Priesthood leaders
Back Cover
Description: "Before we started down the street to the first home, we
stood together and said a prayer. I prayed the Lord would open doors for us
that day, so we could teach people the gospel we loved. When I opened my eyes I
saw a wonderful vision:
I saw before me a large door and frame that covered the
entire street we were about to tract. As I pondered the meaning of what I saw,
the voice of the Spirit spoke to me and said, "God will open the doors for
you this day!" As I continued to look, I saw this large door begin to open
before me until it was fully open and the street was no longer blocked.
"As we started knocking on the doors of homes on that
the first street, we began to experience success beyond our wildest dreams: we
began to get in every door. I wish I had the words to describe it! Door after
door, street after street, hour after hour, we knocked on doors and were let in
to teach."
This was the climax to the miraculous summer of a young
missionary working in the Pennsylvania
mission. It was just one of a multitude of wonderful experiences that came as a
result of the author's commitment to missionary work. The author brings over 15
years of missionary experience together to give direction and instruction to
missionaries, members, and priesthood leaders in practical principles that will
make any dedicated individual a successful missionary.
"Within the pages that follow, Elder Clawson shares the
principles he found that bring success to any faithful missionary. He was a
model about whom President Pinnock would often refer over the next 25 years
when he was encouraging and training other missionaries. Elder Clawson feels a need for all missionaries to
have access to these success principles and the enthusiasm he continues to feel
for missionary work. He knows how success can be achieved and is passing on
these principles to help all those wonderful missionaries who are desirous of
achieving success and blessing the lives of those who search for
truth." Sister Anne Pinnock
